QUOTE(Azxpert @ Apr 28 2009, 10:36 PM) Hi XsaintX.. I bet for 2 years old, you RES is around 4-5 inch shell length right. From what I'm reading, RES that reach 4-5 inch size should be feeding pellets every other day. ya they're around that size. today i tried to feed them kangkung and they ate abit, probably cos i starved them yesterday. will try the romaine lettuces Have you tried to give your turtles lettuces? Its hard to start with new things such vegies for turtles as they get bigger and older. But who knows, just give a try. Just put 3 or 4 green leaf lettuce or common name salad leaves to your turtles tank. Don't give up. They will eat it sooner or later. Good LuCk~! Anyway you may try to soak the lettuces in tuna juice to entices your turtles to eat it. Romaine lettuces is one of the best to start with.   QUOTE(skwerl @ Apr 29 2009, 11:04 AM) Damn...
